Villain Events

Ok so I have been wanting to give the villains some much due love for a while and just got reminded of their neglect again today.

Thing is I have played very little villains. I haven't a clue what there is to do on redside. I know the obvious ones like SF's and hami raids and costume contests. What else is there that would make good events. Any ideas would be appreciated??

Here's a couple ideas for you Kat:

Giant Monster spawning

1. Ghost of Scrapyard -- ok, he's always wandering around in Sharkhead, but you need both him and 200 scrapyardsers for accolades

2. Deathsurge -- also needed for an accolade; defeat 100 Cap demons to spawn

3. Caleb -- spawns in Nerve for every 100 Nerva Spectral Daemons defeated during daylight ... I'll be honest, I haven't seen or hunted for this GM before

4. Arachnos Flier -- always zipping around Grandville

Accolade Defeat badges (I find these go by alot quicker when there is a team hunting down the same thing for the badge):

-- Coldheated -- defeat 100 CoT cold demons for Demonic Accolade (found in sw Sharks)
-- Electrician -- defeat 100 Cap au Diable Demons (found along power transfer system) and needed for Headline Stealer Accolade
-- Strikebuster -- defeat 200 Scrapyarders in Sharkshead (for Headline Stealer Accolade)
-- Gangbuster -- defeat 200 Marcone bosses (I normally hunt them in Port Oakes) for High Pain Threshold Accolade
-- Spider Smasher -- defeat 200 Arachnos wolf spiders for High Pain Threshold Accolade
-- Man/Woman in Black -- defeat 200 shivans for Megalomaniac Accolade

While I run and see others run the main strike forces, I don't see as much activity with any of the three respec trials (maybe it's bad flashbacks of the thorn room from failed MoSTFs ... or maybe that's just me)

Depending on your level range, there are also a bunch of cool contacts that I enjoy running whenever I get the chance:
-- Darrin Wade's Midnight Draws Near arc, lvls 20-30
-- Crimson Revenant, lvls 30-34
-- Psymon Omega, lvls 35-39
-- Efficiency Expert Pither, lvl 45-50
-- Vernon von Grun, lvl 45-50
-- and any of the patron's missions are all fun too

There's my two cents worth and since I'm playing redside 90% of the time now, just hit me up if you need a team or help.

Some kind of Mayhem missions event? They can be pretty wild and fun on big teams and Invader is good times.

So people play villains it's hard to find teams and since it's hard to find teams no one rolls villains. Possible Solution: static teams. I've never done one but it seems like it might work, people may be more enticed to roll a villain if they know they're guaranteed teaming.

Another possible event could be a villainous MA arc contest? Get people to make and play each others villain arcs? Gets people (ideally) playing villains...

Defeat Hard Case.

I like the GM spawning team idea. That's another thing red side has over blue side, most of our GMs can be spawned by the players. I've spawned Caleb all on my own once.

There's already a certain MA arc that's being used as a contest, of some sort . Why not organize some teams to run through it and see if you can beat the best hero team?

static teams are always good fun on villains, you can create a beastly team that can run through anything so you can keep the diff. cranked up.

Good static teams are pretty easy to make, have 1 brute, 1 dom, then you can stack VEATs and Corrs to make the team pretty godlike.

I just though of something! (I do have thoughts you know).

How about a Rikti Pylon soloing event? Or maybe duo?

I think Kahlan and I already won that

Seriously though, that does sound cool. I know this is for villain events, but that could be a cool event for both sides to participate in.
